New plan
- Marks & Spencer launched a £28 bodysuit with padding at the hips.
- The garment aims to add volume and create the appearance of an hourglass figure rather than compressing the body.
- Its design recalls the padded shorts associated with Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand.
Shapewear has traditionally promised to compress and cinch the body. Marks & Spencer's new £28 bodysuit takes the opposite approach, adding volume instead.
The garment features exaggerated padding at the hips to create an hourglass silhouette, or at least the illusion of one. The design belongs to an emerging sub-genre of shapewear focused on adding inches rather than reducing them.
Its look recalls the padded shorts sold by Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand, bringing the exaggerated-curve aesthetic into a new M&S product.
